How To Get The Best Out Of Your ACDelco Remanufactured Engine / Cylinder Head Engine Fluids Coolants and Corrosion Lubricants and coolants are the lifeblood of an engine and Modern engine and cooling systems have a far greater mix only premium products should be used in ACDelco’s of different metals, which promotes corrosion. Todays remanufactured engines. Using low priced oils and coolants engines are also working harder under more difficult is false economy and ultimately will cost money instead of conditions, developing more heat which also contributes to saving it. corrosion. Many rust corrosion inhibitors have been taken off the market due to poor performance but unfortunately Engine Oil many low price, poor performers can still be purchased. Engine oil lubricates engine components by acting as a Avoid at all cost. Unmanaged corrosion can destroy barrier between the internal metal parts. It also cools by cylinder heads, engine blocks, water pumps, thermostat carrying away heat from the hotter parts of the engine. It housings, timing covers, cylinder liners, radiators and must protect parts from corrosion and keep the engine welsh plugs in less than three months. Corrosion is almost clean by carrying wear particles, dirt and dust in impossible to stop, but it can be controlled by using only suspension to the filtration system.

It is important to note that the concentration is critical - too little or too much can be more damaging than plain water in ACDelco’s Oils Are Preferable some circumstances. To get the most out of your remanufactured engine, only premium “five star” quality oils should be used.

Appendix Pre-Lubing the Engine A. Distributor Method One of the most crucial steps in installing a new The most common method of pre-lubing an engine is remanufactured engine is to pre-lube the new engine with a mechanical distributor. If this is possible with the before the initial start-up. particular engine application being replaced, use the procedure as follows: If the engine components do not receive proper 1.

There are two preferred ways to pre-lube an engine. With E.O.S. is a highly effective engine break in compound each method, it is very important not to overfill the specifically designed to reduce scuffing during the engine with oil. Only use the manufacturer’s initial break-in. Fill the crankcase with an A.P.I. recommended amount for that application. certified engine oil. Refer to the owner’s manual for recommended volume, seasonal viscosity and grade. 2. Insert an oil pump priming tool or an old distributor shaft in place of the distributor. 3. Rotate the oil pump priming tool or distributor shaft with a drill at 200 to 500 RPM for two additional minutes after pressure builds up in the engine. This is to flush any debris from the engine without placing a load on the bearings while maximum clearances are present and to ensure that critical remote areas are sufficiently lubricated. • Be sure to check in either the service manual for the engine/vehicle or the intake manifold for the direction of the distributor; either clockwise or counter-clockwise. • The oil has built up enough pressure in the engine when the oil flows freely over all the rocker arms. • The distributor method is preferred because it also verifies the operation of the oil pump, pick up tube/screen and allows for extended oil re- circulation and filtration. B. Pressurised Engine Pre-Luber Method Another method of pre-lubing the new remanufactured engine is to use a pressurised engine pre-luber. These types of pre-lubers provide pressurised oil to the engine. It also reduces the chance of bearing damage, which occurs due to lack of lubrication or oil dilution. Because there are so many engine oil prelubers on the market today, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. 18

This extends water pump shaft seal life. Before flushing the system, check with the service manual for that specific make and model of vehicle to determine if the system has any unique features, and which procedure is recommended for flushing the system. Some models feature air bleed vents similar to those on a brake system. They are used for basically the same function: to bleed air bubbles out of the system. Because air pockets can cause the engine to overheat, it is very important that all air is out of the cooling system before the vehicle is driven. 19
Appendix Other considerations Installing an engine properly requires a great amount of attention to details in order for the engine to function properly and continue to function properly. Below are some things to check before returning the vehicle to normal service: 1. Is the Timing Set? • Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions for procedures and specifications. 2. Are bolts & fasteners torqued? • Are all the bolts and fasteners torqued to the manufacturer’s specifications and in the recommended sequence according to the service manual? 3. Replacements check • Have the spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filters, air filters and hoses been replaced to ensure maximum performance and reliability? 4. Breaking-in • Has the customer/driver been informed of the recommended ‘break-in’ period and procedures for this ACDelco engine (see After Installation Guidelines)? 5. Test drive • Has the vehicle been test driven for a minimum of 50km of combined city and highway driving, not exceeding 80kph or using any fast throttle responses? 6. Maintenance Schedule • Has the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule been relayed to the customer/driver emphasising that this is a remanufactured engine and will need to be serviced as a new engine? 7. Maintenance Schedule • Has the customer/driver been informed to have the first filter and oil change between 500 and 800 km? 20
REMANUFACTURED ENGINES / CYLINDER HEADS - WORKSHOP GUIDE - Appendix Engine Return Inspection Procedures It is critical that careful inspection occurs on all “deposit” engine returns to confirm that the unit is the correct model in exchange for the ACDelco remanufactured unit – and that it is suitable for remanufacture, otherwise penalties may be applied. A recommended inspection procedure is detailed below which should be followed: 1. Check Engine Number • Check to ensure that it has not been altered, damaged or erased. Engines affected in this manner will not be acceptable for return. 2. Check Engine Model • Check to ensure that the engine for return is the same as the ACDelco Engines remanufactured unit. 3. Check Damage • Check the return engine for damage to rocker cover, sump, timing cover, and broken lugs on block. • Also for cracks and other visible damage to block and cylinder head. Check that the crankshaft will rotate a full 360 degrees. 4. Drain Oil • The oil from sump must be drained. 5. Assemble to Stand • The return engine must be assembled to the engine stand and must be equipped with the lifting chain. 21
